Talk:Devil Bringer


 * Yamato (閻魔刀：大和) (absorbed at end)

Wing Talisman
The Wing Talisman (羽のタリスマン) is found within a red pillar in the Spiral Well. It is a crystal talisman containing an angel's wing that can be used to activate certain equipment which will propel Nero or Dante upwards if stepped upon. These pads are usually red, though there are some blue ones that effect a much greater response. There is also an elevator within Experiment Disposal which requires the Wing Talisman to be placed inside of it to move, and Nero does so while searching the H.Q. for Kyrie. Dante later retrieves the talisman.

Key of Cronus
The Key of Cronus (クロノスの鍵) is found within a violet pillar in the Key Chamber. It is a magical key intended for use with the Chrono Slicers, time suspension devices being developed by the Order's technology department. Most of them are incomplete and will only remain active for a short time. However, there is one Chrono Slicer within the Security Corridor which functions indefinitely if the key is left inside, and Nero does so while searching the H.Q. for Kyrie. Dante later retrieves the key, and uses it to wreck some of the machines in the Security Corridor.

Boss Busters
I just finished adding the Busters that you perform on the bosses. I tried to describe them to the best of my abilities.

From novel summary
The day Nero’s arm changed, he was attacked by an Assault. It was the first time he had seen one. He came into the scene to save Kyrie and a bunch of orphans she brought for a walk in the forest (LOL?). A team of three knights was sent to help (Nero went there on his own) but one of them named Josh ended up dying while trying to shield Kyrie and the kids from a leaping Assault. It wasn’t mentioned when Nero’s arm changed, but it was definitely not during the battle against the Assault. It also didn’t explain how it changed, like whether the skin slowly peeled off and it hurt like *beep*, or whether it magically turned into the demon arm with a matching sound effect. Ultimately lame. In the end, Capcom still never explained the very shit we wanna know.

But wait, near the end of the story in volume 2 it actually did mention what Nero thought to be the reason behind the change. He figured that perhaps this arm is now how it originally should have been, just like how a caterpillar transforms into a pupa and then a butterfly. (Yeah he made this analogy, not me!) He thought that perhaps he had simply reached that time in his life to be who he really was. O_o… Okay…? LOL. Apparently Capcom/Bingo forgot to explain how his ‘original self’ could have had a demon arm when he’s only a quarter demon (assuming his dad is Vergil as the novel hinted at throughout) as compared to Dante and Vergil who are half demon but look entirely human. But yeah, that’s pretty much the only ‘answer’ (if valid at all in the eyes of fans) Capcom/Bingo gave to explain why Nero’s got that arm.

Resemblance with Vergil
Not sure what you think but the Devil Bringer bears striking resemblances with Vergil. First the fact that the arm itself is similar to that of Vergil while in Devil Trigger, it reacts with Yamato, it unleashes blue colored flames/aura just like Vergil, Nero claims the arm wanted "more power" something that Vergil wanted, while in Devil Trigger the figure behind Nero is almost the same as Vergil's Devil Trigger and if you keep attacking it will unleash those rotating blades which could be a reference to the Summoned Swords of Vergil. Not sure how we can add info with this, but it is clear the Devil Bringer and Vergil have plenty of things in common and I don't think they are just coincidence, more than anything if one considers than Dante gave Nero the Yamato (after defeating Sanctus) it could hint that Dante knows about the Devil Bringer "true nature". You tell me your thoughts thanks. --201.214.148.62

 * Yes, the Devil Bringer looks like Vergil's arm while in Devil Trigger. Except it's not colored the same.
 * 1) The Devil Bringer reacts to a lot of things, like all the Key Items in the game. Though it is worth noting that Yamato is the only Devil Arm the DB reacts to.
 * 2) It unleashes blue flames? I thought it that was just an aura. (Nelo Angelo perhaps?)
 * 3) A lot of people want/need more "power", specifically all the villains thus far in the series. So, it could be coincidental or was really put in by the devs.
 * 4) Those blue blades "are" a reference to Vergil's Summoned Swords. They're even named the same.
 * 5) Dante did feel something about Nero being similar to Vergil. It was said so in the latest manga which can be found at devils-lair. Albeit, with some Nero-hating comments.
